FAQs
What is the main difference between this and the original Gel Kayano 14?
The ASICS Gel Kayano 14 JJJJound Silver White is a redesigned version of the original, featuring the same core design and technology but with specific colourways and branding from the JJJJound collaboration.
What does the 'JJJJound' logo signify?
JJJJound is a design studio and brand known for its collaborations with various fashion and lifestyle companies. The logo signifies this specific partnership.
What type of activities are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are primarily designed for casual wear, walking, and general daily activities. They offer comfort and support for extended periods on your feet.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to a standard UK men's shoe sizing chart. This specific model is listed as UK size 8.5.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
While the GEL-KAYANO 14 features running shoe technology, this specific collaborative version is best suited for lifestyle and casual wear rather than high-performance running.
How can I clean the synthetic leather overlays?
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the synthetic leather. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material.
What is the purpose of the TRUSSTIC support system?
The TRUSSTIC support system is integrated into the midsole to provide torsional rigidity and enhance overall stability, helping to prevent excessive foot motion.
Troubleshooting
Uneven fit or discomfort
Ensure laces are properly tied, adjusting for snugness without overtightening. Consider using the alternative lacing techniques if provided or available online.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While GEL Technology is durable, its impact absorption can diminish with extensive use. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between shoe components. Ensure shoes are completely dry. A light dusting of talcum powder inside may help if the sound persists.
